Participating in these activities helped Cheryl build new relationships and get to know new people locally. She then formed a new group herself: Community Mothers.
Cheryl says:
Time Credits opened my eyes. I never thought I would be able to do anything other than care for my children because of my dyslexia. It’s helped me gain confidence in myself and improve the way I now live my life.
